SIGHT FOR GUNS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug'. 23, 1910.

Application filed March 20, 19(19. Serial No. 484,676.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL BISHOP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dobbins, in the county of Yuba and State of California, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sights for Guns, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a gun sight and the object of the invention is a device of this kind in which the peep or guide Will not throw a shadow upon the bead and a further object of the invention is to combine the peep and bead upon a common base.

The invention consists of the novel features of construction hereinafter described,

pointed out in the claims and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view showing the sight applied, a gun barrel being broken away. Fig. 2 is a cross section through a gun barrel, showing the sight in elevation from the rear. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the sight detached.

In the drawing, 1 represents a longitudinally extending base which carries a dovetail wedge block 2 upon its under surface, which block fits into a dove-tail recess and transversely into a block 3 secured longitudinally upon the gun barrel. At the rear of the base l is a circular ring 4 forming projects beyond the shank 5, said rear end terminating in a flat circular face, the said bead tapering from the top of said rear face downwardly and forwardly t0 the front end of the shank. The bead is formed of either gold or ivory and the base 1 is of a suflicient length to prevent the ring 5 from casting a shadow upon the rear end of the bead, or darkening the object aimed at.

The entire sight is readily detachable from the gun barrel and may be as easily replaced.

What I claim is:-

1. The combination with a gun barrel, of a longitudinal base arranged thereon, a ring mounted upon the rear end of said base, a shank mounted upon the front end of said base and a tapering bead having a flat circular rear end, said bead being mounted longitudinally upon said shank.

2. A device of the kind described comprising a flat base, means for detachably connecting said base to a gun barrel, a ring carried by one end of the base, a shank triangular in cross section mounted upon the opposite end of the base, the said ring having a diameter greater than the height of the shank, and a tapering bead arranged longitudinally upon said shank, said bead having a flat circular rear face, each portion of said face lying in the same plane.

SAMUEL BISHOP.
